I don't think so. The apps aren't as intuitive as the old non official reddit apps. I know me personally I don't know how to use kbin that well and I overall don't love it here. I made the switch when RIF died and I haven't actually filled the void yet.

I think the apps are fine. Check out boost for lemmy.. All the apps really need right now is an On Boarding screen. Something like: "Choose instance X or Y or Z and let's go".
That would definitely help someone like me who I guess is just an old person now
I sure hope not
The bigger it gets, the easier it will be to get bigger. It's more a question of if Reddit falls. If it does, Lemmy is the main alternative.
Lemmy has potential, sadly paid software will always be the king in the consumer space. Marketing plays a big roll too. I don't see lemmy being bigger than Reddit sadly.
Yeah, the general public knows about Reddit, most people have no idea what the fediverse or lemmy are.
